Regarding Amy
A moment for pics!
Wednesday, October 25, 2006
Hey all! Just taking a moment away from work to give an upate on me and my crazy busy life.
Here are some pics of the damage to the van. Thus far, we have seen God working everything out, with no complications. As you can see from the pics, the deer hit the front driver’s side bumper, then from what we can tell, rolled across the side of the van. We were very fortunate that the deer did not hit the front of the van.
Other news...today, I got a letter from the child that Chris and I sponsor. Some of you may not know, but Sunday Edition has began a working relationship with Compassion International. We are so excited to see what God will do with this. 
In the meantime, Chris and I are working together to sponsor a child. We are sponsoring a little boy from East Indonesia. His name is Rivaldo. We got a letter today from him. He’s only 4 years and 5 months old. Obviously he didn’t write me, but his teacher wrote for him. He loves playing with his friends and singing. He’s precious and I’m excited to be able to help him and watch him grow! Talk about a day brightener. If you don’t sponsor a child I would recommend you look into it!! 
I’m working on about 5 new websites. As soon as I get them up and running, I’ll let you know so you can view them. One that is just about done is a re-design for Geron Davis and Kindred Souls. Check it out: Geron Davis & Kindred Souls Online
I’ve finally got around to fixing up the other pics from Disney World (the trip I took in August)! LOL I know, I’m slow! Enjoy these and I’ll post again soon:
LOVE & PEACE

Oh Deer!

So this weekend was fun! We always enjoy our time with MAGMA peeps! Hopefully we’ll be able to get a little more involved next year. I love to see people eager to work together for the good of what they love!
We didn’t have a Sunday booking so we decided that since we had to go through Sikeston, MO we would stop at Lambert’s (Home of the Throwed Rolls). We left Farmington, MO (at about 1:00 am towards) Cape Girardeau to stay the night there. Cape is only about 20-30 miles from Sikeston. At approximately 2:15ish, we were all slightly ajarred by a huge THUD. It sounded as though we ran over something. LOL Well, we did sorta! Seems a pretty good size deer decided he wanted to try to knock us off the road. Mom and Dad seemed sure it was a deer, as they were sitting up front and could see more than me and Chris.
I wasn’t totally sure so I decided to jump out of the car with dad to see the damage. A nice young gentleman stopped to see if we were all right. He saw something happen with us and the deer but he didn’t know to what extent or if we needed any help. He ran to both mile markers to check out where we were so we could call the state patrol office. From the look of the damage we can only guess that the deer ran into us. We were extremely fortunate that the deer did not go through any windows or the windshield. If we were 3 seconds sooner, that deer would’ve been on top of Mom and Dad in the front. The young man looked at me and said, “God sure has mercy”. I said, “THAT He does.”. We thanked him for his help, and Dad gave him a CD! I pray it blesses his life!
About 20 minutes later the state patrol officer showed up and wrote a report for insurance purposes. Apparently it was a pretty big deer. The officer told dad that if his wife was more into cleaning game, he’d call her up and have her come pick it up! LOL Finally we were back on the road and got checked into our hotel about 4:00 am. The lady at the Pear Tree Inn in Cape let us have a late check out and gave us a deal on the room. God totally worked it out for us.
Once we got a little sleep it was off to Lambert’s. THe full damage to the van is unknown. We can’t open the rear sliding door at all, and the driver’s side door won’t open all the way. We are praying for God’s favor in the whole insurance ordeal. He’s not a halfway God, so I know that since He kept us safe during the event, and then provided us extra sleep (with the hotel) to make up for what we lost, He WILL provide what we need to get the van fixed. Dad write’s a little about the event on his blog here. If I can get the pics from Dad, I’ll post em for you to see!
On to the good part of the trip...Lambert’s!
Now, I must tell you that if you have never been to Lambert’s you are in for a real treat. YES, they do throw the rolls, and they are HOT! But they are well worth the slight singeing of the hands! Lambert’s is unique in the fact that not only do they throw the rolls, but they pass around what we like to call FREE food! You pay for a meal, I usually get the Country Fried Steak, but as an added bonus, peeps come by with extras to add to your plate. These extras include such items as fried okra, fried potatoes, macaroni and tomatoes, and more!! YUM! It’s quite an experience. Warning to anyone who does actually decide to take a trip to Lambert’s. You get LOTS of food...so eat SLOW! :p
I’m outta here! Got LOTS of work to catch up on!!
PEACE, LOVE, and BLESSINGS to you all!

It's early

Yes, that’s right folks. I am up at 6:30 am! Going on a little over 2 hours sleep. I can hear the little teeny boppers outside my window as they are walking toward the bus stop. Most of you know how I feel about them there teeny boppers! UGH!
We are heading out in about an hour and a half towards Farmington, MO for the MAGMA (Mid America Gospel Music Association) Convention. We attended there last year for the first time and had a blast. We’re pretty excited about being invited back.
I can’t stay long as I have to hop in the shower and make sure everything else is packed up! I did want to say that I’m a horrible blogger. I’m confessing right now so that in the future when I don’t update when I say I’m going to update, you all can’t be mad at me. I know many of you (my fans!) are just sitting there waiting for me to come up with some funny stuff, or some thoughtful piece of wisdom. Sorry for your disappointment! LOL (totally kidding!)
Had a GREAT birthday on the 1st of this month, not sharing how old I am, sorry again! The Lord has been good and has given me peace over my work load. As I posted in confidence regarding Sunday, MY GOD SUPPLIED! I got an over abundance of His mercy and I’m pumped to see what He’s going to do in the future. Our TNT group has been seeing God move the last couple bible studies and we’re stoked to see what MORE He has in store for us! God is GOOD!
I just have to give a shout out to Mr. Parker! I used to work with him at Goody’s (been awhile). He’s a funny character with a great spirit! Mr. Parker, you’ve been on my mind and I just want you to know that you are awesome! LOL Praying for you!
On to my last bit of detail before heading out! The single peeps I truly believe will appreciate this article. Interesting information on *insert drum roll here please* DATING! See some excellent points on dating and what we Christians have made it! The article can be found HERE !!
I gotta go! Later peeps!
PEACE, LOVE, and JOY!!

Been Awhile
Saturday, October 07, 2006
I know, it’s been awhile. I’ve probably lost the two readers I had. Things have been oh so crazy here. It’s way past my bed time but something inside told me I needed to write. So, I’m writing. I feel the need to be an open book here. So here goes…
I never got the other Disney World pics up, although they are ready to be put up I just haven’t had time. I’m at the point where I feel like I’m all work and no play. Ever feel that way? I’m swamped with work (I’ll be introducing some new sites, as well as re-designs shortly). I feel like I’m drowning in work, and only allowed to come up for air every month or two. My mind runs on working and making money to pay the bills, while my heart runs on needing time to sit in quietness with Jesus. Funny, I just bought a book to read. It has to do with separating my work and my life. I haven’t had time to even start reading it. Anyone else ever feel this way. Like you can’t breathe.
We’ve been singing a LOT! This is good, but hard to get adjusted to. Now we are at a point where we are slowing down for the holidays. I look forward to that, but now I have to get caught up with my work. I really feel our group is fixing to do things that we’ve never even dreamed, and I want to be ready. But man, life is hitting me hard. I really need a break from all the noise in my head reminding me of all the stuff I still need to accomplish. I feel as though Imagine being stuck in quicksand, with no tree branches or rope to grab onto. Nothing available to help you pull yourself out. You feel the sand sucking you in. What’s worse is you feel all alone. TRAPPED!
LOL I guess I just need a life. Most of you probably have no clue as to what I do. That’s ok. Some of you do. Some of you know how much of my heart goes into every little thing I do. Even though that can sound like a good thing, it makes for a very easily broken heart. Sensitive, I guess. I’m all about business. But I love what I do because I get to help artists make a step in a new direction. I get to help artists portray themselves the way they NEED to be portrayed. That’s a heavy burden that most people never know you carry. I love my job, and wouldn’t trade anything for it!
Even when I’m away from work, I’m still never really away. I live, eat, breathe, and sing gospel music. I’m just frustrated that I don’t have enough time, money, and energy to do what I want to do with my business, with my life. I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s ever felt this way.
Tomorrow (today - technically) is Sunday. I’m going to church. But before I go, I’m going to rest in HIS peace. HIS peace passes all understanding. It passes all the noise in my head telling me what I need to do, and what I haven’t done yet. It passes the drowning feeling and pulls me up out of the sand, when I can’t do it myself. Tomorrow I will get my fill to continue on the journey God has placed before me. I will be encouraged by my Pastor’s words, and uplifted by the praise I present to my Heavenly Father.
Tomorrow is another day.
Peace and LOVE!
AM
